I am so out of the “elevator button press” loop. Maybe it is my extreme patience. This graph is lost on me.
This could also apply to the “Press To Cross” button at crosswalks.
Or the button that makes the elevator come to the floor you’re on.
No matter how many times I press the “Press To Cross” button at crosswalks, the doors NEVER close.
Really? You should try it the other way. I pressed the “close door” button and was immediately able to cross the street!
This, kids, is what it looks like when you make a great graph.
This is lost on me.
I have never managed to hit the button more than twice before the door closes… Does this just apply to people hitting the button in an attempt to crush the other passengers entering the elevator?
This graph makes me lose the will to live.
LOL, this is one of the best graphs I’ve seen on this site in a long time.
Sometimes after smashing the button 27 times I wonder if it even works..
This graph could use “Perception of A**holeness From Person Running to Catch Elevator”
actually, i read an article recently in the new yorker about elevators. according to the article, if you are riding in an elevator built in 1996 or later, then for safety reasons the “close door” button does not work. wonder no more!
Then why would they even put the button in?
Because they want to make you believe that you control your situation.
2+2=5. We have always been at war with Eastasia.
Our library was remodeled at some time past the year 2000, got several new floors, and the elevator door won’t close until you click Door Closed.
Maybe our library could only afford hand-me-down elevators.
Pssh. This is amazing. If you can’t relate to this graph, you need to be more impatient. Seriously, it’s almost inhuman.
Shouldn’t the actual graphs shrink a bit over time? Even mashing a button furiously takes a few milliseconds…
Other than that the graph’s 100% true, Blond-errr-Bloobeard…
WTF is that (S) doing there? “Time for door to closes?”
Fail.
actually the fail appears to be yours
(in Seconds)
If this were on the failblog site, this could win as burn of the week!
cant believe i’m seeing a real life fail.. in real life!
also, i think the only reason this doesn’t have a full 5 pies is that no one knows how to read this brilliant graph.
The letter in the parentheses shows what unit you are using. the (s) means seconds.
Knowledge of charts Fail
WTF is your comment doing here?
His comment is doing:
a) nothing
b) making him look dumb
clever
Imagine that, a funny, well made graph that has nothing to do with song lyrics.
This is great! I remember a related Dilbert cartoon, and they are waiting for the elevator to get to their floor. Someone pushes the button twice and one of the characters (either Dilbert or Wally) says, “If you push it a third time it goes into ‘hurry’ mode.”
Actually, I talked with an elevator technician about this magical button. He said that on many elevators the button is only present for show.
Nice, I spent some moemnt to understand it, and it’s simply brilliant
*moment
You are a genius. This is hilarious.
Of course the percieved time goes down with an increase in button pushes.
YOU’RE SPENDING YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION PUSHING THE BUTTON!
i ride the creepiest elevator ever on the daily.
this made me smile.
Makes sense to me. :l
Like, if you’re in a scary movie, you’ll press the elevator button 30 times or higher- as if it’ll somehow magically make the doors close faster.
It’s not really stupidity so much as it is hopeless effort and denial of the protagonist and/or minor expendable character(s).
